Liner notes (English)
I don't know of any other musician that takes action with so much power and decisiveness to spread their musical ideas as Saskia Laroo does. Whenever I look at her website I am amazed at how she manages to do so many performances at venues all over the world. Yet again, I'm not amazed because I've known Miss Laroo for years as a hardworking, fantastic musician who not only as a trumpet player towers aloft but also as a bandleader and colleague stands alone. She's always willing to give young musicians a chance and have smashing jam sessions with other musicians no matter what the setting.
Respect Saskia!

Saskia Laroo
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hip-Hop, Hard Bop, Acid Jazz, Modal Music
Heavily influenced by Miles Davis, Saskia Laroo is a soft-toned, economical trumpeter who is comfortable playing electronic acid jazz, club music and hip-hop as well as straight-ahead acoustic jazz. Laroo, who also plays bass, was born and raised in the Netherlands, where she began studying the trumpet at the age of seven and became interested in playing jazz when she was a teen-ager. In 1994, Laroo released her first album, It's Like Jazz, for her own Laroo label. An acid jazz/hip-hop/dance effort that sometimes brings to mind US3, It's Like Jazz was fairly similar to her sophomore album of 1998, Bodymusic. But in 1999, the trumpeter recorded straight-ahead acoustic jazz on her third album, Jazzkia (which was essentially a tribute to Davis) and her fourth album, Sunset Eyes 2000, which prominently featured the great tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards.
